Policy information sourced from the East Horsley Neighbourhood Plan
EH-H7(c) East Horsley Design Code: New Roads
The recommended style for multi-home developments where new roads are being created is as follows:
- Include provision for footpath or cycleway linkages wherever possible (see also Policy EH-INF4, Footpaths & Cycleways, below);
- If there is to be screening at the front of the house, use hedges or shrubs, not fences, walls or railings;
- Paving is encouraged to be permeable including soft landscaping where possible to encourage natural drainage and limit surface water flooding;
- Provide communally-owned green areas and trees to enhance the overall landscaping of the new development in keeping with the existing wooded nature of the village.
